Fitting in, in Abu Dhabi

Many visitors worry about overstepping cultural boundaries in Abu Dhabi, while others disregard the culture. If you want to fit into this conservative society, with some liberties for foreigners, there are some Dos and Don'ts to note. Dress modestly, in loose-fitting clothes that cover the tops of arms and legs at least. Public displays of affection are frowned upon, including holding hands during Ramadan. Alcohol is available only in hotel bars, drinking and driving can land you in jail and sunbathing topless even in private pools is illegal. Do respect the Muslim religion and be aware of local festivals - refrain from eating in public in the daytime during Ramadan, out of respect for the fasting population. As long as you're respectful of the local customs and restrict your pleasures and entertainment to the wholesome kind, you can have a great time at Abu Dhabi hotels, malls, beaches and theme parks.
